The New Global Sport Conference said in a Sept. 22 update that its next main conference in Riyadh will be held in 2027. It had previously been scheduled for October 30–November 1, 2026.
NGSC’s June announcement placed the Riyadh meeting immediately before the inaugural Esports Nations Cup. The Esports Foundation postponed that competition from November 2026 to November 2027 in August. NGSC says its own calendar change follows that decision.
The organizer currently expects the Riyadh conference to return around mid-August 2027 and says it will retain the “Defining Victory” theme. It has not announced exact dates, a venue, a programme or speakers. The previously announced 2026 arrangements should not be treated as confirmed for 2027.
NGSC also says its first international edition took place in Paris during the 2026 Esports World Cup. That Paris event is separate from the rescheduled Riyadh conference.
